After the national record was already broken, it now also applies at the global level. A different country previously held the record.

      Iran’s government has done plenty to deserve those sanctions. War is wrong no matter which side does it, and Iran is very guilty.

          saddly nobody has found a better option. Iran has had particularly evil leaders for decades. (Why is interesting history itself - but not relavant to today)

              Or you can make war and kill innocents. Or you can turn your back and watch them kill innocents.

              there are other variations, but I have yet to see an option that isn’t awful.

                  I don’t have a choice. Either you defend Iran for funding everyone who wants to kill the Jews, or you defend the US and Israel for attacking Iran. There is no middle ground, either way you are defending genocidal maniacs. I hate both options.

      Sure, and Iran isn’t under a regime now, right? They shut down the internet because they didn’t like what was said over it.

              Bla bla, don’t try to “potato tomato” me, you know well what a regime is or you wouldn’t be upset at me calling it that. Funny that you are more worried about the economic sanctions, and not the repression, incarceration and execution of protesters… go spread your propaganda elsewhere.
